This morning, my church sang the lyrics, "Take all that I am, Lord, use me for Your glory."
I found myself unable to speak the words. I pay close attention to words used, sometimes, probably more than I should. I'm very particular, and read meaning into word choice. Many times, there will be a song that I'll ask my husband to listen to, and it's for the lyrics rather than for the tune.
I do love music, and the tune is important to me, but once I know the lyrics, it's hard for me to overlook them or stop thinking of them.
I also take care in choosing the words that I speak--well, most of the time at least. I pay attention to the word choice of others as well. Language fascinates me.
"Take all that I am Lord, use me for Your glory."
Voices throughout the building lifted these words up. I just couldn't say it. Only because I had to stop and think, do I really mean it? Truly? Take ALL? What does all mean?
Everything. Every little and big detail. Every aspect of who I am.
Take all I am, Lord.
